Evangelist's Hymnal

compiled by Harry Mills of Harrow

Our brother was exercised in about 1995 to produce a new collection of gospel hymns. The Lord saw fit to call him home shortly afterwards before the collection could be published. The hymns listed here are the selections that he made. Chapter Two has many of these in music script form. Our brother chose the tunes and the type-setting was almost complete. If any are interested they may be able to view them at Chapter Two. An initial attempt was made to edit some of the archaic expressions while retaining addressing the Lord using 'Thou'. Users will notice a number of places where no conclusion was reached with the editing.
